Egor was a professional military man. He lived in Russia, albeit not very happily, but at least enjoying the benefits of the 21st century. But one day he was offered a highly paid contract. Long-term, for five years. To protect the first person of the state. The Tsar of All Rus', Peter Alekseevich Romanov. They don’t refuse this. But there are no superfluous characters in history. Egor had to become... Alexander Menshikov. The closest friend and associate of Peter the Great, a full-fledged resident of the 18th century, with titles, positions, money and a strong family. And when the contract expired, Yegor did not even think about it. Remained. Everything would be fine, but Charles XII is already at the threshold, and behind him is the invincible army of the Swedes. Yegor, or rather, now His Serene Highness Prince Alexander Menshikov, will have to earn the title of Field Marshal General of the Russian Army. The Northern War is coming.
